Desired state for complex applications (osc25)

Using configuration management like SALT or ansible for servers or more or less simple applications is standard practice in the industry. But, what if we talk about complex systems with special configurations and complex interactions? In the production industry we talk about "digital twins", which enables faster development and better integrations. For IT systems we talk now about a "digital blueprint" for our systems. Right now it's a vision we are evaluating - it should enable us to do "one-click-installations" of complex landscapes as well as generating a human readable description of the architecture. It hopefully shifts...

Bridging the Digital Divide (osc25)

Open source software is powering global innovation. In less developed regions, it's not just technology but a catalyst for closing the digital divide and fueling economic and social progress. This session explores how open source software goes beyond just coding as it creates real opportunities and positive change in the world’s least developed areas. For software developers in underserved regions, open source software offers free access to advanced technologies. This empowers them to build innovative IT solutions tailored to their communities’ unique needs. I will highlight the many benefits of adopting and customizing open source software in...

Packit: RPM-based CI/CD for your project (osc25)

Are you in search of RPM-based CI for your project hosted on GitHub or GitLab? Allow us to introduce [Packit](https://packit.dev/), the upstream integration tailored specifically for RPM distributions. Initially conceived for Fedora, Packit now extends its capabilities to encompass the entire RPM family. In this presentation, we will explore Packit and how to use it for your project. Attendees can expect an examination of: * **RPM Builds and Testing**: Learn how Packit simplifies the process of running RPM builds and conducting tests directly on pull requests. * **RPM Repositories**: Discover how Packit allows you to provide your users...

Atomic OS Updates via OCI Images (osc25)

When using tools like RPM or Zypper for updating packages, there is a risk of incomplete updates or breaking the running system. To overcome these challenges, we have developed **container-snap**, a prototype plugin designed to deliver **atomic OS updates** that are fully applied or rolled back without compromising the system's state. **container-snap** leverages OCI images as the source for updates and integrates seamlessly with openSUSE’s [tukit](https://github.com/openSUSE/transactional-update) for transactional OS updates. By utilizing **Podman’s btrfs storage driver**, it creates bootable btrfs subvolumes directly from OCI images, effectively turning them into atomic OS snapshots. This allows you...

SUSE Package Hub - Current State - Roadmap - Contribution (osc25)

SUSE Package Hub delivers open source packages to enterprise users in combination with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

The Unified Kernel Image in openSUSE distribution (osc25)

### Introduction: The Need for Secure and Reliable Booting In the ever-evolving landscape of Linux distributions, security and boot reliability have become paramount concerns. Traditionally, the boot process relied on separate kernel and initrd components, leading to potential vulnerabilities and complexities. This presentation delves into the journey of integrating a more robust and secure boot mechanism by leveraging the Unified Kernel Image (UKI). ### Static and Signed Initrd: Establishing a Foundation for Integrity We will begin by outlining the critical need for a static and signed initrd within modern Linux systems. The dynamic nature of traditional initrd...

Männerphantasien - Unplugged (fusion25)

Weltweit tobt ein Backlash zu Männerdominanz und rechter Ideologie. Woher kommt eigentlich toxische Männlichkeit? Schon in den 1970er Jahren analysierte Klaus Theweleit in Männerphantasien erstmalig die Verbindung von Männlichkeit, toxischer Sexualität und Faschismus. 45 Jahre später bringt Regisseurin Theresa Thomasberger das Werk auf die Bühne. Die drei Autorinnen Svenja Viola Bungarten, Ivana Sokola und Gerhild Steinbuch ergänzen das Stück um weibliche Perspektiven und zeigen, wie aktuelle Geschlechterbilder Gewalt, Ideologie und Identität prägen. Sonst auf der großen Theaterbühne, und jetzt exklusiv bei uns im Zelt! There is a global backlash toward male dominance and right-wing...
